Splash pad

Well it's getting warm out. At least here in Phoenix it is. So one day Parker and I walked to the splash pad at Marley Park. It was a little over a mile walk, so it was good exercise for me, and Parker had fun.

Playing at the park before we played in the water... I love this outfit on him.

After we turned on the water... playing in puddles

He shied away from the big sprays of water, but still got a little wet.

When these things were just trickling out a small amount of water he walked up and said "wash, wash" and tried to wash his hands in the water.

Then he got thirsty and tried to drink the water that was coming out of the openings.

So, like any mother I think, "He must be thirsty, I'll give him some water"

I give him a sippy cup, and what does he do? Drops it and tries drinking from the yellow tubes again. Do you see the cup lying on the ground where he discarded it?

He finally got brave and let himself get thoroughly wet.

But he was unhappy with his decision.

Very unhappy

In the end he had a blast, he didn't want to leave (but it was nap time) and he stared back at the splash pad as we walked away until it was no longer in sight.
